Thursday
Chris got up at 7:30 to put the turkey in the oven. I got up after 8 and rinsed the sprouts. I took supplements and read messages. I posted a Christmas message on Facebook. I found a Youtube video of Christmas songs and played it. But I had to fire it because of all the commercials. I replaced my usual CD set with Christmas CD's and played that. No interruptions. Chris baked two pecan pies. I talked to William. I ate the turkey innards.
John and Michele came over around noon. We took one pie and walked to a neighbors house for a Christmas brunch. They had dishes I haven't heard of, but they were all good. Her house was so fantastically decorated. All her kitchen cupboard doors were wrapped in Grinch wrapping paper. As we sat down, more people arrived. So there were plenty of people to talk to as we ate. Also, the game was on and it was loud so I had trouble hearing.
While they watched a movie, I returned Kurt's call. He told me about the shed he is building. He also promted AI to build the picture I wanted. It did a good job with the image of a jar in a manger, but couldn't get the text right. So he sent me the image and I added the text. Then I posted it to Facebook.
When the movie was over, Chris and Michele made side dishes. We ate turkey with an onion and celery stuffing. We had rice and stir-fried broccoli. After dinner, Michele had a present to open. Then there was a box from Marie with some fabric and essential oils and jewelry for Michele and me. I gave John his payment for 111. He looked up the words on the essential oils to see what they were (since they were mostly marked in Japanese.)
Faye called and we all chatted with her. Later John and Michele went home. I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. Then I watered the plants and rinsed the sprouts. I went back to my laptop to read messages. It was getting late when Jamie texted me and I texted back. Then I posted to my blog and went to bed.
